Upon hearing the collective rejection of the eight students, Vice Chairman Bramwell and the rest remained calm. Their expressions told the youngsters to continue stating their case.
"We may have been looking forward to an opportunity to give back to the grace you have given us. An opportunity to be accepted in this great institution for free… However, we cannot afford to lead the institute to ruin in this matter…
We knew for ourselves how much progress we made from the time you sent us out to study under our assigned masters. But we can say that that progress was only meager.
To send us to compete with the best representatives of the top schools in Prasinos, we cannot allow ourselves to become instruments that would bring dismay to our beloved school.
We're very sorry Deputy Chairman… Dean…" Desmond explained with a humble expression.
"We're very sorry…" The rest of the youngsters also followed.
